Vesttoo valuation rises to $1bn after $80m Series C financing round

Vesttoo, an Israel-based alternative reinsurance and investment platform, has closed an $80 million Series C financing round, valuing the company at $1 billion.

The insurance risk transfer platform will use the proceeds from the round to further advance its global presence, improve its AI-based marketplace platform and extend its offering to insurers and investors.

The Series C funding round of Vesttoo is co-led by Mouro Capital and a global private equity fund, with participation from an American bulge-bracket investment bank, Gramercy Ventures, Hanaco Ventures, and Black River Ventures.

The Series C round of the Israeli insurtech company comes close on the heels of Mouro Capital led $15 million Series B round with participation from MS&AD Holdings in November 2021. Vesttoo Series A round was led by Hanaco Ventures in August 2021.
